Default The one that got away!

Over the weekend, I had a great Colorado pronghorn hunt with a terminally ill cancer patient. We were so close! This buck had a crossbow bolt pass just over his back...argh!

That's too bad, he's a great buck. I'm sure it was still the hunt of a lifetime.

I had my still camera operating instead of my video camera. The shot was taken at 47 yards. We missed by a hair!

The weekend was a gas! We sucked down some beers made from free ranging barley...fair harvested of course in the good old USA(Jim...we had to have fun!). I snapped some awesome photos. This one might get you elk hunters excited...season starts in 5 days!

Trips like thishumble me. Life is way too short....
